The Traitors - BBC

[mags]

i feel so bad for Imran a few seem to have it in for him especially Matt (?) still a bit unsure about names

He seems like an ok guy but he's trying to approach it too scientifically and appears a bit cold and lacking emotion.

Also, did you know that he was the youngest person ever, in the whole world, to get a PHD in his chosen field? Not sure he mentioned it enough....

Aaron is so pretty. Big puppy energy. He's adorable.

John's a knob. He can duck right off! Upsetting lovely Aaron!

Gotta say I love the music they are using. Some of the alternative versions of songs they are playing, really haunting but beautiful versions. Love it.

How does everyone know their names so quick, I binged watched it but still can't remember any

Once I start watching it normally from next week I'll remember

I reckon it would be better if they didn’t discuss who they thought the traitor was. Like on Big Brother how you could tell each other who you nominated for. Stops the herd mentality

I think that's one of the really interesting parts of it, you see how easily people are swayed and how the traitors can manipulate things

It has quite quickly grown on me. Think the reaction in Ep 1 to a stately home was a bit over the top, so hopefully some of the more overexcitable characters will either calm down or get filtered out.

Interesting that with 20 of them in the room how quickly the herd mindset forms.

If the traitors were playing as a collective (I assume they're not, and this "we'll back each other" stuff will come unravelled eventually...), then a high-risk strategy for the traitors would be to nominate themselves as the three. One guaranteed to go but if the faithfuls know the traitors chose the three then the traitor outed would be taken as the "misdirect", and the other two would be taken as the "real" targets, and utterly removed from suspicion and could float entirely under the radar for the rest of the game.

I do keep thinking I have seen all of them on TV before though - Imran, Andrea and Aaron especially seem so familiar!

true, i’d think it would be interesting to see how many say the same person just off their actions without people swaying them as well though. there’s a lot do ‘i think it’s….’ then people are just like oh yeah me too without an actual reason behind it

I reckon a lot of it is deflecting attention away from themselves too though. Like even the faithfuls have to be mindful that no one else think they might be a traitor, else they’ll soon be the ones set on by the rest of the pack.

Not something I’d usually watch if I just saw it as I was flicking through iplayer but I’m enjoying it. I feel like it’s similar to Hunted before Channel 4 ruined it. I hope they release three at once again as I love a good old binge watch.

The traitors will definitely turn on each other. I have a feeling the girls will vote to eliminate Wilfred at some point. I wonder if Claudia will select a new traitor if one or two are eliminated. Initially I thought there would be new traitors each episode to throw people off but this format makes more sense.

I’m absolutely loving this, binge watched the first three this weekend.
I absolutely think that Amanda and Alyssa will vote Wilfred out at some point if he keeps becoming a liability. I reckon Amanda will end up with all the money. I think a good tactic could be to put Wilfred as one of the three on trial and maybe that will deflect suspicion from him. Means they could also be free to pick Maddy too and ultimately get rid of her.
That John is awful, I felt so bad for Aaron.

It says here in the rules that if a traitor is uncovered the remaining traitors can recruit a faithful. They will become a traitor if they agree. I suppose the OG traitors can't reveal themselves at this point in case they are turned down.

I definitely think Amanda and Alyssa are going to turn on Wilfred at one point. he’s just not as good as those two. Alyssa is like a criminal mastermind but Amanda has it in the bag in such an under rated way. Like they say it’s always the quiet ones

I agree Wilfred is a liability to them. I also think Alyssa will arouse suspicion if she keeps on trying to manipulate others to vote for someone else. Amanda is doing well by keeping herself to herself.

Yeah Alyssa sets other people up too much and it’ll start to get obvious at some point. But think she is also too nice an keeps quiet at the right time

also made me laugh now she kept comparing Aaron to a serial killer

I just binged the first 3 episodes tonight and I'm loving it! Claudia is savage.

When are we getting more episodes?

Next episode is Tuesday. Hopefully Weds and Thurs too but haven't checked yet.

 

[Lilykins]

From the looks of things it might be on every Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday if my sky+ schedule thing is right!

I always thought Alyssa was the most devious especially when she drip feeds poison into the faithfuls'ears as she did with Nicky. But I can see your point about Amanda we know she is a traitor but as far as the faithfuls can see she is a quiet, rather bland motherly middle aged woman. Yeah she is playing a quiet game very nicely. Wilf is too OTT.

 

[50sGirl]

Did anyone else find it “off” that no one seemed embarrassed when Nicky said the reason she didn’t raise her glass was because it was on her right so she couldn’t?
Surely they could have deduced that for themselves without going along with Alyssa’s manipulation.
Shock horror, a woman with no right hand doesn’t pick up the glass on her right! (Yes I know she could have reached across with her left but I don’t know if that was difficult for her.)

Perfect example of the herd mentality? The younger ones in particular seem easily led.
